A charming cushion of 1" foliage, covered with masses of brilliant tiny double pink flowers. Dianthus Tiny Rubies is a choice dwarf plant or groundcover for a sunny area, great tucked into nooks and crannies of a rock garden.
General Information:
Dianthus are garden classics, appearing in many shapes and colors. Long blooming, perfect for small bouquets-most are fragrant. A cottage garden is not complete without several Dianthus. Dianthus gratianopolitanus forms spreading low mats of blue green foliage.
